Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has urged Nigerian governors to join the federal government to proffer immediate solution to the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, and the dwindling economy.
Osinbajo said this when he received APC Governors today in his office at the Presidential Villa.
The governors were on a felicitation visit as he recovers from the surgery done last month.
While welcoming the Governors, Prof. Osinbajo expressed his appreciation for the visit and the good wishes.
The VP also commended the expertise of Nigerian doctors, and the availability of cutting edge medical facilities existing in the country. But he regretted that doctors are restrained by regulations to advertise and as a result many people are unawares of the level of quality medical services available locally.
During the brief interaction that followed at the meeting, important national issues were also raised especially regarding the economy and the ASUU strike.
The Vice President and the Governors then agreed to engage these and other pressing issues further with a view to bringing urgent resolution for the benefit of the Nigerian people.
According to the Vice President “we all need to work together on this critical issues. We need to think through things, and we need to do it fast.”
